Report Template Normal Planning Appeal Inspector’s Report 07.PC0232 Application Type SID Pre Application – Whether proposed development is or is not strategic infrastructure development. Construction of a new deep water Development quay facility and all ancillary works. Location Rossaveel, Co. Galway Prospective Applicant(s) Department of Food, Agriculture and the Marine Planning Authority Galway County Council. Date of Pre Application Meeting(s) 7th November, 2016 and 6th April, 2017 Date of Site Inspection 1st November, 2016 Inspector Stephen Kay 07.PC0232 Inspector’s Report Page 1 of 14 1.0 Site Location and Description 1.1. The site is located at Rossaveel harbour in Connemara, c.40km to the west of Galway City. The harbour is located c. 1km to the south of Rossaveel Village and the surrounding area contains a number of industries that are related to the harbour activity including fish processing, boat and fishing equipment repairs and fuel supplies. 1.2. The harbour area is located on the north east corner of Cashla Bay and has good natural shelter from the prevailing winds. The existing harbour facility has two main piers, a dedicated passenger ferry terminal and berth and a recreational harbour area that has the capacity to accommodate approximately 40 no. small craft. The size of commercial vessel which currently uses the harbour is stated by the prospective applicants to be in the range of 15-24 metres in length and which require c.5 metres of water to operate. 1.3. The site is connected to Galway City by the R336 and R372 regional roads. The route does require that traffic passes through the villages of Barna and Spiddal. Proposed road upgrades in the form of the Barna to Scrib upgrade of the R336 and the Galway Outer Bypass route would result in improved connection with Galway City and the national road network. 1.4. The site of the current proposal is located to the south of the existing harbour activity and the existing main piers, ferry terminal and recreational harbour. The area in the vicinity of the proposed development currently comprises undeveloped reclaimed lands with an existing commercial building located to the east. The existing layout has a slipway in the general area of these commercial buildings 1.5. The existing land ownership in the harbour area is primarily the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and the Marine (DAFM) with some lands also under the ownership of Udaras na Gaeltacht. 07.PC0232 Inspector’s Report Page 2 of 14 2.0 Proposed Development 2.1. The proposed development would involve the infilling and reclamation of an area of c.29,453 sq. metres in an area that measures c.200 metres north – south and c. 120 metres east – west. A new deep water quay is proposed to be created with a length of 200 metres along the full length of the infilled area. Lighting and drainage of the new berth is proposed on the quay and a dredged berthing pocket 30 metres deep is proposed to be dredged to a depth of -12 metres CD along the full 200 metre length of the berth. A small boat berth is indicated located at the northern end of the infilled area. Dredging of an approach channel of c. 600 metres in length is proposed to be undertaken to a depth of -8 metres CD. It is anticipated that the bulk of the dredged material would be reused in the construction of the reclaimed area that would link the quay to the existing shoreline. 2.2. The information provided by the prospective applicant indicates that the completed development would be capable of accommodating vessels of up to 5,000 DWT (dead weight tonnes). 2.3. Access to the proposed berth is indicated as being provided via the existing harbour access road and a continuation of the existing road that runs to the south of the existing commercial buildings to the east of the site of the proposed quay. 3.0 Case Made by Prospective Applicants 3.1. Representatives of the Board met with the prospective Applicant on the 7th November, 2016 and 6th April, 2017. Issues discussed at these meetings and detailed in the record of the meetings included, inter alia, the following: • The nature of the development and its planning history were set out. It was stated by the prospective applicant that previous applications that incorporated the deep water quay were made by the department to Galway County Council and that they were accompanied by an EIS. It was further clarified that it was intended by the prospective applicant that an application for the current proposal would also be accompanied by an EIS and that Mot and McDonald Consulting Engineers had been retained to prepare this EIS. 07.PC0232 Inspector’s Report Page 3 of 14 • The site location of the proposed development as well as the dumping-at-sea location (required for any excess dredge material which cannot be re-used in construction) was set out by the prospective applicant. With respect to this element, it said that there is an existing dumping-at-sea licence for 100,000 tonnes of material and that to date only c. 60,000 tonnes of this permitted tonnage had been disposed of at the site. The prospective applicant stated that it is expected that the quantities arising from the proposed development to be quite small and it is considered likely that the material which has to be disposed of could be accommodated within the existing dumping at sea licence. • The prospective applicant noted that the existing port is one of six fishery harbour centres, but pointed out that, of these, only Castletownbere and Killybegs are identified under the National Ports Policy. It said the port is primarily associated with the food industry and hence comes under the remit of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. • The main benefits and opportunities arising from the proposed development were set out by the prospective applicant as follows: • It will attract additional and larger fishing vessels. • It will facilitate ship-to-shore fish transfer systems. • It will facilitate upgraded fish processing facilities, such as cold stores. • Local support services will gain from increased economic output • There will be ancillary potential opportunities such as dry cargo services to offshore hydrocarbon developments as well as non-commercial benefits • The prospective applicant made the overall point that the size of fishing vessels has increased over time and that the existing facility is not a fit in this regard as it cannot facilitate such larger vessels. It added that it also wishes to realise potential economic benefits from foreign fishing vessels being capable of landing at the port. Currently there is one large fish processing facility in the harbour and this facility needs a source of fish. The existing depth of -3.7 metres CD restricts the size of vessel to c. 30 metres in length 07.PC0232 Inspector’s Report Page 4 of 14 and the harbour needs to be able to accommodate larger pelagic vessels of 60-70 metres. It was stated the currently such vessels go to Castletownbere and Killybegs harbours and that it is government policy to encourage foreign fishing vessels to land their catch in Ireland. Volumes of fish landed at Rossaveel have reduced significantly over the years from an official 10,000 tonnes in 1990 to 3 – 4,000 tonnes today reflecting the fact that the harbour cannot accommodate modern larger vessels. • Stated that the use of the harbour by larger fishing vessels reached a peak of 147 in 2000 and continued up to 2002 when a decision was made to restrict access for such vessels on account of health and safety issues and the ability of the inner harbour to safely accommodate them. • The initial submission made by the prospective applicant to the Board states that the anticipated additional number of vessels attracted to the harbour post development would be approximately 143 no. This projection was based on the numbers using the port prior to the restrictions on larger vessels imposed in 2002. The outcome of a subsequent economic assessment was presented at the second pre application meeting held on 6th April, 2017 at which it was stated that the projections for additional vessels was increased to 300 per annum with an additional 15,000 tonnes of fish landings per annum. • In terms of employment, it was stated that the existing fish processing facility is currently operating at approximately 25% of capacity and that employment at this facility is projected to increase from the current 30-35 FTEs to 60-65 FTEs with other projected increases in indirect employment in the local area. • The prospective applicant stated that commercial cargo was not discounted at the proposed facility but that the primary purpose is as a fisheries port in accordance with its status as a fisheries harbour centre. The prospective applicant also stated that some cruise liner traffic had used the port in past years but that this was not the intention of the proposed development. Again, cruise liner traffic would have to be secondary to fishing activity and it was stated that cruise liners would use Galway rather than Rossaveel. 07.PC0232 Inspector’s Report Page 5 of 14 3.2. The application made by the prospective applicant is under s.37B of the Planning and Development Act, 2000 (as amended) and makes the following points in relation to the proposed development and whether it would or would not constitute strategic infrastructure: • Consider that the proposed development would come within the scope of Class 2 of the Seventh Schedule of the Act being development of a quay that would be in excess of 100 metres in length and which would facilitate vessels in excess of 1,350 tonnes.

During part of the year 1916 that I was away from school, a young teacher from Spiddal, Seoirse Ó Flaharta, just out of training, acted as substitute in Furbough school. When I returned, I took up duty there again, but the Board of Education refused to recognise me, and requested the Manager, Fr. Lally, to have a teacher appointed in my place. This, he refused to do, though he was not particularly nationally minded, but the clergy of Galway, on the whole, were very strong on the point. Then the National Board withdrew recognition entirely from the school, and refused to pay the salary of the assistant, as well as my own. The Irish National Teachers' Organisation took the matter up, and paid us both grade salary for the period of non-recognition, which extended to April, 1920. In the month of February, 1917, at four o'clock in the morning, we were all awakened by a loud knocking on the door, together with an order to get up at once. My mother opened the door, and in trooped a number of R.I.C.

  • Field Guide to the I. G. S. Post-Symposium Tour, August 2008
    Field guide to the I. G. S. post-symposium tour, August 2008 Paul Dunlop School of Environmental Sciences, University of Ulster, Coleraine, Northern Ireland A. C. Fowler MACSI, Dept. of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Limerick, Limerick, Republic of Ireland August 19, 2008 1 Preamble The tour will involve some mild overland walking in possibly wet fields and hillsides. A little climbing over gates and at least one barbed wire fence will be necessary (but not obligatory). Waterproof boots are recommended, and as the weather is changeable, rain gear should be brought, and a warm pullover. Bring also swimwear and towel, as there will be several opportunities to swim (and the water may be warm). Insect spray may be useful, as midges, mosquitoes and sandflies may be out and about, and can be very irritating. Etymology Two of the features we shall see on the tour, drumlins and eskers, both take their names from Irish words. Druim is an Irish word meaning hill or ridge, and the suffix -lin indicates small, thus a small hill or ridge. Apparently the term was coined in 1833. The Irish word eiscir also means a ridge, esker is the anglicisation. 2 Itinerary OS references are to Ordnance Survey maps (see OS in reference list). 23 August, 2008 8.30 Bus leaves university from the Stables. 10.30 Coffee at The Poppy Seed, Clarinbridge.
